Does anyone know why the above veggies may have turned purple? The leaves have turned completely purple. I have foliar sprayed 1 time

This is a symptom of Phosphorus deficiency. P has trouble being taken up by plants in cool soil. Once the soil temperature warms up the plants should recover. I am in zone 4 and we won't be planting anything for another couple months, we are buried by 3' of snow!
